Fix Recommendation

Define roles and responsibilities to be used when managing the web server.

Configure the hosting system to utilize specific roles that restrict access related to web server system and configuration changes.

Check Contents

Review the web server documentation and configuration to determine if the web server provides unique account roles specifically for the purposes of segmenting the responsibilities for managing the web server.

Log into the hosting server using a web server role with limited permissions (e.g., Auditor, Developer, etc.) and verify the account is not able to perform configuration changes that are not related to that role.

If roles are not defined with limited permissions and restrictions, this is a finding.
